Note(s):

Courses that deviate from the above schedule will be restricted to being offered at 2:00 p.m. or later.

A Request for Variance Form is required every term for any courses falling outside of the Standard Class Meeting Times policy. It is important to note that it is not guaranteed that a course approved for a variance in prior terms will be approved for a present or future term.

Courses meeting during 3:00-5:00 p.m. on Mondays must also seek approval via a Request for Variance Form. However, in this instance, only your collegiate Dean's approval is required (i.e., there is no need to seek approval from the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice President).

Classroom priority will be given to courses that follow the Standard Class Meeting Time policy. Should an academic department submit courses that do not follow the Standard Class Meeting Times policy, and/or if a department fails to obtain approval via a Request for Variance Form, the Office of the Registrar will not list the course in the Schedule of Classes.

When approvals do not accompany the submitted Schedule of Classes, the process is delayed and puts us at risk of being unable to meet deadlines that will ensure timely distribution of the Schedule of Classes to students. Your cooperation and timeliness is greatly appreciated.
